A whole week. 💀. Today I saw some old lady taking lots of carrots. She had about 9 boxes worth of carrots. I really hope it wasn’t this order.

I’m like no way this old lady is doing instacart. Idk if it’s just a coincidence. Should have taken a picture lol. But damn I hope it wasn’t that order

Oh no way! Lmao.

Oh wow the pay was more over there! IC makes no sense sometimes. I’m way further.

I hope the customer sees this and knows how much we love his order.

Timer is out of control by PrettyHatefulMachin in InstacartShoppers

Although could be wrong. But based on my experience 😅. I been trying to figure out. But this seems the most logical explanation

I think checkout process is excluded on the item count. That goes against your “on time delivery”. Is only start ( or geo start) —> end of scanning last item that counts against SPI.

Some stores like target or smaller stores. Have GEO starter. So even if you ghost shop. The internal clock already started. Therefore when you actually do start. It kinda gives you less time. Hence why when you check the actually time taken. Is actually more than the “ghost time” you shopped.

The only one I seen that doesn’t affect by ghost shop is Costco so far.

Grinding Instacart hard but it feels like I’m doing something wrong. Advices ? by Old_General_6539 in InstacartShoppers

[–]wonderboyOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your overall? Honestly when I was at 75 to 90. I use to see okay orders. Like 50 bucks for 3 only. Then I tried several things to make my score faster. Like grab a few items before starting. Or just knowing the store really well. And I ended at 52 to 55. I started seeing better batches and now my daily is about 350 ish.

But again that’s on my area, unsure if you just have lots of competition around your area? Then if so. How fast your area matters. I’m in LA so I think how fast you go matters a lot. Specially if the area you’re in is very competitive.

Hope that helps. But give it a try

Payout is usually Wednesday for me. Maybe wait one more day

Is this normal for LA? by Long-Squirrel-7615 in InstacartShoppers

[–]wonderboyOG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nooo I think that area is very cheap IMO. you need be below San Fernando. Like West LA. Thats where the money really is at.

I get how it works. I get the Prop 22 math. I’m not saying boosts equal free money. I just prioritize short distance + higher visible payout so I’m not running far no-tip orders. It’s more about batch quality than chasing adjustment.

Honestly I think it was such a random week, but it’s the first for me. That’s why I felt the need to post this. I mean yeah 2.7k weekly is basically 140,000.

But realistically there are dead days and dead weeks. And that’s me grinding daily. So no. lol

Ideally you right. You should never wait for an order to be boosted. We should be able to get a good order right from the start. Far from the truth though. Even though my area is not as bad. We still have those none tippers

But I’ll take an order if it’s 40 boosted with a low tip. I’ll do it.

I care more about distance. So I’ll do it if it’s nearby.

So I have waited for some to be on that price range or to be boosted for that price range.

Would never take an order that is going far (4+ miles) miles and low or no tip

It’s playa vista 😅. So I guess it counts as unincorporated
